Remotely wipe all devices and re-enroll them

Use the MDM to inventory installed apps, remove unapproved apps, and enable app whitelisting

Disable the Google Play Store on all devices

Send a notification to users asking them to uninstall unapproved apps

A small business wants to manage a mix of corporate-owned and employee-owned Android devices. They need to enforce security policies on corporate devices and provide a separate work space on personal devices. They want a single solution that supports both models. What should they implement?

An EMM solution that supports both fully managed and work profile deployments

A custom-built device management solution

A standalone MDM that only supports device admin

A mobile application management (MAM) solution only

A company uses Android Enterprise fully managed devices. They have an app that is not available in the managed Play Store. The app is required for all devices. The IT team wants to deploy the app and manage updates. What is the best approach?

Upload the APK to managed Google Play as a private app

A company's MDM reports that a fully managed Android device has not checked in for 30 days. The device is assigned to a sales representative. The security policy requires that devices be compliant and accessible. What should the administrator do first?

Ignore the alert because the device may be off

Attempt to remotely lock the device and then wipe it if it does not respond

A government agency uses Android Enterprise fully managed devices. They have a strict policy that only approved apps can be installed.

The agency wants to allow the employee to use the app while maintaining control. What is the best approach?

Add the app to the managed Play Store and approve it after a security review

Temporarily disable the whitelist to allow installation

Sideload the APK after a quick virus scan

Allow the employee to install the app from the public Play Store
